THE BAPTIST CONGRESS-.
Gathering of Prominen mt Members Of the De-
nomination to Discuss Church Questions.

This afternoon, at o'clock, the sixth annual
meeting of the Baptist Congress for the dis
cussion of current questions will begin at the
First Baptist Church. The organization is not
an ordinary UNCONVENTIONAL association. 1t
originated from feeling among leading Bap-
fists that there should be an organization, indie
pendent of the church, in which current ques-
tons affecting religious work could be discussed
and considered freely. The questions are first
treated by appointed speakers, who limited
to twenty-five minutes each. Any Baptist pres
ent who desires to express his views may then
send his card to the chairman. and the chair
man. if he desires, may call on him. Volunteer
speakers are limited to ten minutes each, and no
person can speak more than once on the same
subject.
The society is governed by general commit
tee composed of one hundred or members,
each of whom contribute S. annually to the
penses of the organization. but the practical
workings are directed by executive commit
tee of fifteen members elected from the general
committee. Special officers and committees
appointed for each meeting of the society. The
institution has proven very popular. and usually
draws to its meetings the most eminent mem
bers of the church from all parts of the country.
This viii be the first of its meetings held west of
the Alleghenies. and the BaptistS of Indianap--
oils feel that it is quite an honor to the city

Venice were renowned for the large
amount as well as the beauty of this
work done by the monks who inhab-
tied them, and from this cause the
name Of Venetian leather was given
this peculiar style.
Venetian leather has a red shade,
which permeates the entire decora-
ton. And the design almost always
is in imitation of needlework. The
leather thus made was used for altar
cloths and the sanctuary hangings OF
the chapels and churches of the time.
Its workmanship is extremely fine and
the genuine article when it can be OBJ
tained brings fabulous prices. 1t is
held in very great esteem by the
churches on the continent, which, II
they are fortunate enough to possess a
piece, will not part with it at any
price. A few years ago there was a
piece exhibited at the Brussels exhibit
ton. 1t had been loaned by the
Archbishop of Brussels, and was for
merly part of an old altar screen. The
unmistakeable mark of its origin was
present in the peculiar needlework pat
tern spoken of above, and while the
piece was only five feet wide by
eight long, it was valued at 93000,
fabulous price for a piece OF leather.
Yet there were many present VINO
would have paid more to have secured
such relic OF antiquity. Visitors to,
the exhibition were, however informed
that it was not to be obtained at any
price. Another beauty of this leather
is the accuracy of the details as well
as the general harmony OF design, the
whole showing an exquisite dellcacy
OF effect and sympathy OF color.
Another school OF leather decoration
was the Flemish. This work flour
ished about the same time as the Ven
etian, but is to-day different in design
and appearance, and resembles more
the peculiar style of the Flemish school
of painting. The Cordova or Spanish
leather is still another kind much ad-
mired. All the Spanish feathers bear
certain resemblance in finish to Mo
rocco or Moorish leather, which is
Justly considered the most beautiful
in texture. FOSTER COATES.
